A Mixed Vegetable Frittata is a nutritious and delicious dish that combines fresh vegetables and savory cheeses with fluffy eggs. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner, this frittata is not only easy to make but also versatile enough to please any palate.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Clean and slice the leek.
- Slice the zucchini into rounds.
- If using frozen peas, thaw them beforehand.
- In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the sliced leek to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened.
- Add the sliced zucchini and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the peas and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
- Stir in the ricotta and grated parmesan cheese until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture over the cooked vegetables in the skillet, gently stirring to ensure even distribution.
- Cook on medium heat for about 3-5 minutes until the edges start to set but the center remains slightly runny.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set and slightly golden on top. You can test by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.
- Remove the frittata from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm. You might want to pair it with an onion relish or a side salad to complete the meal.
Tips:
- Prep Your Vegetables: Make sure to thoroughly clean and chop your vegetables before you begin cooking. This will save time and ensure an even cook.
- Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to the appropriate temperature before you start cooking. This ensures that your frittata cooks evenly and has a perfect texture.
- Use Fresh Eggs: Opt for the freshest eggs possible, as they will provide better flavor and texture to your frittata.
- Grease The Pan: Use olive oil or a non-stick spray to grease your oven-safe skillet or baking dish to prevent the frittata from sticking.
- Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the frittata as it bakes, and remove it from the oven as soon as the eggs are set to prevent a dry or rubbery texture.
- Allow to Cool: Let the frittata sit for a few minutes after baking. This will make it easier to cut and serve.
